    Two weeks ago I released a video that has become the most popular video on my channel so far, "The Most Useful Lick I Ever Learned" ( • The most useful guitar... )
    We're going to take that lesson to the next level in this guitar lesson video.
    More info about Blue Morris and his books like "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro":

      Hi Blue, very helpful! Is there a video connecting major to minor? G to Bm example.

    • @GuitarLessonsVancouver
      @GuitarLessonsVancouver  7 месяцев назад

      @@ssdelmar Not sure if this is what you mean but this is a common way to use major and minor pentatonic, especially in blues and rock. Major Pentatonic on the I chord, then Minor Pentatonic on the IV chord. I have a video about that here: ruclips.net/video/K9QdVkZIxAo/видео.html Or if you mean connecting the chords with a scale, you could use this as a launch out of a G major bar chord and then just grab the Bm chord which will be nearby. This video doesn't do exactly that but could be easily adapted to: ruclips.net/video/-IsaY00TUcw/видео.html

      I agree 100%. There are a lot of YT lessons. A lot of them are good but Blue is a real teacher. That is a gift! I learned to play 6 monts ago. All from YT channels. I played things that sounded nice but I didn't understand the whole spectrum of what I was doing. Till I found the Blue's channel. Suddenly it's like a messy puzzle where the picture is showing up and the missing pieces are reached in an understanding way so it fits together and I can remember it.

    15-years ago I asked my guitar teacher how I could move fluidly from rhythm to lead and back again. Thank you for answering. Something I'd love you to expand on... more rhythm licks. Playing only on the one is perfect for this lesson. But 1 or 2 bar rhythm licks would add so much. Wishing you great success with your channel. Subscribed.

    You have the greatest technique of explanations I have ever been exposed to.
    Ive been around a guitar since I was a kid (62years old) dad had a 57 tele, he bought my older brother a fender newporter so I was exposed. Having said that I didn’t get my own until 1988 self taught having stolen licks and phrases over the early years. I stalled, could play but could not advance until I found the holy grail of teaching yes you I have advanced more in three days than in my whole guitar playing life!!!!! Thank you for providing your teaching skills to the masses Im blessed to have found you on RUclips

    I appreciate you giving some practical ideas along with a chord progression to work with to glue it together. It'd be great if you keep building on this. Suggestion, would like to see a video that breaks down different embellishments, extensions added along with different intervals/dyads used for color and transitions. Some popular rock examples would be great too!
    I find knowing CAGED system and Pentatonic boxes helps connect this together, because each major and minor chord form has an underlying scale. When you know them, you know what notes are playable for each chord.

    New subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to thank you & say how incredibly helpful your videos like this one are.
    There are a ton of talented guitarist instructors on RUclips, yet bizarrely it seems you’re the only one who’s offering these videos where you show exactly what’s going through your mind when soloing. This is the dilemma many of us face, so please keep these types of videos coming.
    It’s as if the other instructors either don’t understand the value in this, or they’d rather pick a topic & not deviate from it.

And that itself directly connects to the 5 chord right on the same spot.
